“The Triangle, as a world-renowned hub for great universities, rapid innovation and a thriving biotechnology sector, is the perfect region to show us what’s possible with gigabit speeds,” Kevin Lo, business and operations director for Google Fiber, said in a statement to WRAL.com.

“Fiber will help put the Raleigh-Durham area on par with the fastest cities in the world, like Seoul, Tokyo and Zurich,” Lo said. “Given that the U.S. is still 14th in the world when it comes to speed, this is a big deal.”

"Potential Fiber cities" still include Portland, San Jose, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and San Antonio. If your city isn't one of those, find the best ISP for gaming in your area, courtesy of our sister site speedtest.net.

Google Fiber is already available in Kansas City, Austin, and Provo, Utah. The connection can run as fast as 1 Gbps, or 1000 Mbps (that's megabits per second).
